Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The change in initial resistance value of the heating element in electronic atomization apparatuses affects the temperature control and user experience, as different atomizers have varying initial resistance values and default values become inaccurate over time.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus detects the current resistance value of the heating element upon inhalation, compares it with a reference value, and updates the reference value if necessary, using a processor to control power supply based on the updated resistance value for precise temperature regulation and condition detection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a default initial resistance value is used for temperature control and adverse condition detection, then the device structure remains simple, but the temperature control precision and user experience deteriorate as use time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the current resistance value when the atomization apparatus is first inhaled, before actual atomization begins. This preliminary action allows the system to obtain the accurate initial resistance value of the heating element and store it as reference data, ensuring subsequent temperature control uses precise baseline data rather than default values
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously compares the current resistance value during operation with the stored reference resistance value, and when the difference exceeds a threshold, triggers an update of the reference value. This feedback mechanism ensures the reference resistance value remains accurate throughout the product lifecycle, maintaining temperature control precision without requiring complex hardware
